Menus are the control layer between your products and your ordering channels. By configuring menus in the Munchi Dashboard, you decide exactly which products customers and staff can see — whether that's on your POS, Self-Ordering Kiosk, Online Store, or Mobile App — and precisely when those products are available.

## What You Can Do With Menus

Menus give you granular control over your product visibility across every channel you operate:

* **Channel-specific visibility** — Show a product on some systems but not others. For example, a cheeseburger can be visible on the POS but hidden from the kiosk.
* **Time-based availability** — Show products only during certain hours. For example, create a "Lunch Menu" so specific items are only available during your lunch service window.
* **Order type control** — Restrict a menu to specific order types such as dine-in, takeaway, or delivery.

## How to Create and Configure a Menu

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in to the Munchi Dashboard">
    Go to [dashboard.gomunchi.com](https://dashboard.gomunchi.com) and sign in with your credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Menus tab">
    Once logged in, locate and click the **Menus** tab in the main dashboard navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select products for this menu">
    Browse your product list and select every product you want to include in this menu. When you're satisfied with your selection, click **Save**.

    <Tip>
      If you want every product in your catalog to always be visible on this menu, enable the **All products** toggle instead of selecting items individually. This automatically includes any new products you add in the future.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure schedule, order types, and channels">
    Set up when and where this menu is active:

    * **Schedule** — Define the days and time windows during which this menu is available (e.g., Monday–Friday, 11 AM–3 PM for a Lunch Menu).
    * **Order types** — Choose whether this menu applies to dine-in, takeaway, delivery, or a combination.
    * **Channels** — Select which ordering surfaces display this menu: POS, Online Store, Self-Ordering Kiosk, and/or Mobile App.
  </Step>
</Steps>
